U.S. Army Cpl. Blake Jones (left) from Eldora, Iowa, and U.S. Army Sgt. Joseph Sawyer from Davenport, Iowa, both infantry team leaders with Company C, 1st Battalion, 133rd Infantry Regiment, Task Force Ironman, check out the water pump trailer Jan. 25 at Forward Operating Base Kalagush, Afghanistan. The fire suit worn by Sawyer was donated to Company C by the Waterloo Fire Rescue in Waterloo, Iowa. The soldiers have put out two small fires and a larger one since being in country, and the department donated the equipment for the soldier’s increased readiness should another occur. Sawyer has served as a volunteer firefighter in Iowa and hopes to become a professional firefighter when he returns from this deployment. TF Ironman is a part of the 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 34th Infantry Division, TF Red Bulls, of the Iowa National Guard.
